They've got a Ticket to Ride

Following on from 3 months of surfing in South Africa with Ticket to Ride this winter and with the help of Ticket to Ride's extensive contacts within the surfing world, 6 riders have now secured jobs as surf instructors at various surf schools in Cornwall and Portugal this summer. For these six it is a dream come true and the icing on the cake after an amazing 3 months of learning to surf with Ex World-Champs on some of the world's best waves in South Africa.

Of these 6 several had never surfed prior to coming on Ticket to Ride's 3 month surf adventure around South Africa. The idea of working as a surf instructor this summer was beyond their wildest dreams as they borded the plane for Cape Town in January. However now, having traveled and surfed the entire South African coastline and gained internationally recognised qualifications in both Surf instructing and Surf lifesaving in Durban, they are ready to pass on the stoke at surf schools around Europe this summer.

This has proved to be a life changing 3 months for those lucky enough to take part in Ticket to Ride's inaugural trip to South Africa this winter and the future looks bright for 2008 with the two trips leaving next January nearing the sold out mark already!

Ticket to Ride wishes its riders all the best for the future and looks forward to 2008.

See you out there!
